pre-patch-2.1.0-#2 boots for me now, but some things are still not working:- When I compile a kernel as a bzImage it doesn't boot (the computer resets just like with the old pre-patch-2.1.0.- The initial ramdisk doesn't work. It gets loadad and mounted, but then linuxrc isn't started (I don't use compressed ramdisk images).- Modules don't get loadad for me. Can someone please give me a summary of the modules problems of 2.1.0 because I have accidently deleted the mails about this topic. (I've written an ugly workaround for the "A module named ... already exists" problem by looking in /proc/modules if the module is really already loaded. But insmod still doesn't work, it even causes oops now.)

Yes I use a 486.
